FLUORESCENT BATTERY PACKS
INTENDED USE
Patented labor saving design installs in 15 minutes or less, especially designed for
field installation. Factory or field installed inside or outside (field only) fluorescent
fixture to operate lamp(s) at reduced light output, providing optimum glare-free
illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes upon interruption of normal power.
CONSTRUCTION
•Rated for use on 20-amp branch circuits only
•Labor-saving design – 1/3 fewer wires and fewer connections than typical fluorescent power packs.
•Engineering-grade charcoal gray plastic housing is impact-resistant, corrosionresistant and
scratch-resistant. UL94-0 flame rating.
•U.S. Patent No 5,814,971 and 6 ,522,147.
•Patented integrated test switch pilot light that requires only one-hole drilling.
PERFORMANCE
Operates one 2’- 4’ or U-shaped fluorescent lamp for 90 minutes. (Compatible with most electronic T8
and magnetic T12, instant start, rapid start and slimline ballasts).
BATTERY BATTERY
Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature nickel cadmium battery. Ensures long life over a wide
range of temperatures. Automatic battery recharge after 90-minute discharge.
ELECTRONIC
•Dual-voltage input capability (120V or 277V).
•Additional input lead provided to allow switching of fixture.
•Constant-current type charger.
INSTALLATION
•Push-nuts and insulation-displacement connectors reduce installation time.
•Custom, one-piece test switch/pilot light allows for mounting flexibility.
•Mounts concealed within fixture wireway for clean appearance and protection against vandalism.
•Compact size (9-1/2” L x 2-1/2” W x 1-1/2” H) allows installation in a variety of fluorescent fixtures:
troffers, industrials, commercials and strips. Unit mounting centers are identical to a
standard ballast.
•Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit (permanently energized) or on switchable circuit
(unswitched circuit to the battery charger and switched circuit to the fixture ballast).
•Unit will strike normally off lamp.
LISTING
•UL listed. Damp location listed. Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code), NEC and
OSHA illumination standards.
•UL approved for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. UL approved for use in wet and damp
location listed fixtures, 0-50°C (32-122°F). (Note: DW option does not make the battery pack
suitable for mounting outside the fixture in a wet location application.)
